I normally have the utmost regard for HRH the PoW but, on this occasion, he has me completely baffled. I'm aware that he has a particular interest in developing young people and providing them with worthwhile opportunities; so perhaps, he believes this would be popular with today's young Service-folk.

It's not far off now.... There used to be things like 'Telephonist Of The Year' and Writer Of The Year'. I did my time as an HQ1 Watchkeeper and answered the phone with aplomb.
